Android, free Three.do ree.do is a reminder app designed to change the way you keep track of your tasks. ree.do takes its name from the three basic categories it strips any task you add down to—the "who," the "what," and the "when." While it may not let you add the level of detail that some other apps offer, ree.do is all about mak- ing it as quick and efficient as possible to set up that reminder before you forget (and you still have the option to add more details as needed if you prefer.) ree. do advertises itself as "faster than typing and faster than 'Okay Google,'" all with a minimalized, easy-to-use interface.

WifiMapper uses crowdsourced date to provide a map of free nearby WiFi hotspots, along with other relevant information and comments on the quality from both WiFi and Foursquare users. You can also contribute to the database by reporting and rating open Wi-Fi hotspots that you discover, and you can look back at your past selections to see if they have improved in their ratings over time. WifiMapper has collected data from major cities all over the world, as well as from smaller towns and rural areas.

Once both devices are in the group, you can begin sharing files, all at "200 times Bluetooth transfer speed"—up to 40 Mb/s. And since it's cross-platform, it doesn't matter whether your device is Android, iOS, or other—you'll still be able to share what you need to.
